Dear users,

we have some news from the University Library:

As part of the Open Library Project, opening hours are being extended at all three locations.

The new opening hours are:

•    Campus Zweibrücken:    Mon–Fri 8:30 am – 10 pm, Sat 9 am–10 pm

•    Campus Pirmasens:        Mon–Fri 8:30 am – 12 noon, 12:30 pm–8 pm

•    Campus Kaiserslautern:  Mon–Fri 8:30 am – 9 pm, Sat 8 am–6 pm

(In Kaiserslautern, the extension of opening hours will be slightly delayed due to building works.

Until then, the library will be open Mon–Thu 8:30 am – 4 pm and Fri 8:30 am – 1 pm).

The Library staff will continue to be available at all locations, generally Monday to Thursday from 8:30 am to 3 pm and on Fridays from 8:30 am to 1 pm.

As usual, you can find updates and the latest information on opening hours on our website
